Lunch and Learn Seminars: For Engineers, Architects & Project Owners
The shotcrete process offers numerous quality, efficiency, and sustainability advantages, but proper knowledge of the process is critical to the creation of a quality specification and for the success of any specifier /owner employing the process. Maintaining a high level of quality for concrete placed via the shotcrete method is ASA’s primary concern and this type of on-site presentation is an excellent tool for all involved.
